Did the majority, without the last 2km warm down. Tbh, I struggled and feel like I’ve lost a bit of fitness over xmas. Legs felt tired. Also, hip and lower back felt a tad uncomfortable. I’m considering integrating some yoga into my training, as I feel like I need to loosen up a bit
It’s a tough session and you’re in that difficult spell of the training. Not long off the last marathon block, a few weeks traveling and Xmas. So it’s only normal you’re not going to be in peak shape, and to be honest, we don’t need to be running our best all year run, that would be exhausting. We need to peak twice a year really, for 4-6 weeks at a time, and that will result in the best training approach. So job done, move on, not overthink it. I stretch everyday for about 15 mins and they include some yoga moves like the Cat Cow and Child Pose. So it can certainly help. Well done though Ben, still a big run.
